When it comes to city driving, not all small compact SUVs are created equal. The Buick Envista and Encore GX stand out with their compact footprints and smart designs. Their size makes them perfectly suited for maneuvering through traffic and makes parking an SUV in those elusive street parking spots less difficult. The Encore GX, for example, is ideal for navigating tight parking garages, while the eye-catching Envista moves through cityscapes with style. Both models offer a thoughtful balance of form and function, helping to ensure your drive is as enjoyable as it is practical.

Fuel costs can add up quickly with city traffic. Buick’s fuel-efficient SUVs are engineered for impressive fuel economy. The 2026 Envista offers up to an EPA-estimated 32 MPG on the highway*, and the 2026 Encore GX* offers up to an EPA-estimated 31 MPG on the highway*, allowing you to spend more time exploring and less time at the pump. This efficiency is a key advantage for anyone whose daily commute involves navigating stop-and-go conditions.

Driving in the city can be unpredictable. Pedestrians, cyclists and dense traffic create a complex environment. Buick SUVs offer an available suite of advanced safety and driver assistance features designed to help protect you and those around you.

• Available Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian or bicyclist it detects directly in front of you.
• Available Side Bicyclist Alert alerts you to a detected bicyclist that is approaching a side blind zone.
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning Uses a brief steering wheel turn to prevent a potential lane departure when it detects you are unintentionally drifting out of your lane lines. 
• Available Rear Cross Traffic Braking alerts you and automatically provides hard emergency braking to help prevent a collision with detected vehicles crossing behind you when you’re in reverse.

These features, along with others like available Blind Zone Steering Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking, help provide an extra layer of confidence, which is invaluable on crowded city streets. Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.

Your vehicle should be a sanctuary from the urban hustle. Even when stuck in traffic, available features like a heated steering wheel and heated front seats in the Envista create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Meanwhile, the large, user-friendly infotainment screen can help you navigate new neighborhoods and stream your favorite audio entertainment.

City life also demands flexibility. The 40/60 split-folding rear seats in Buick SUVs, like the Encore GX, create generous cargo space, helping to make it easy to transport larger items — whether it’s a piece of furniture or gear for a weekend getaway. The Encore GX offers up to 50.2 cubic feet of max cargo capacity*, proving that a compact SUV doesn't have to compromise on utility.
